AN: Hello everyone. I feel bad to have been posting late, summer had me busy both at work and personally. Hoping this makes up for it.
Chapter 30
The quick sound of wings moving through the endless sky of clouds was a sound no one could miss, Lucifer kept increasing more along with Amenadiel and Maze followed close behind.
From the second they left the silver city Lucifer never took his eyes of the orb with an intense gaze making sure to not lose track of it, but neither of them unsure if they were halfway to reaching where the orb was leading them to.
Just then it suddenly picked up speed surprising them. " Speed up its speed increased " ordered Lucifer looking back at his brother and demon " we're getting closer " announce Lucifer, " let's hope so it almost feels endless " answers Maze looking ahead. " Agreed my guess is after being found once they must of taken extra precautions " answers Amenadiel as while making a sharp turn.
The orb started to slow down, carefully stopping but kept his distance Lucifer stopped giving Amenadiel the signal to slow down the two angels and demon stayed still watching the orb from where they were. Feeling the hair on the back of his neck rise Lucifer eyes looked around the area something was out there that wasn't friendly.
" Quickly back to back " ordered Lucifer as he and Amenadiel backs turned against each other with enough space for there wings " keep your guard up they know were here " he breathes remaining calm showing no fear. Lucifer saw the orb stopped not far from where they were, commanding it to return the orb didn't obey.
Furrowing his brows together Lucifer gave the order once again but it still wasn't obeying, " why isn't it returning? " Maze asks seeing the intense look on Lucifer...
" Because the shard is returning to me" called out a voice making the three prepare themselves, " show yourself coward or are you too afraid to stand up against us especially me " teased Lucifer attempting to make there unknown opponent come out of hiding.
Hearing the wings from within the clouds out emerged there opponent who had been mocking them, but on his left and right side were both Libra and Eve with there spears in hand. Raising his silver bow up the shard fused itself back into the area it broke from.
Maze blood boiled as soon as she saw the two, " calm yourself " said Amenadiel noticing the tension on the demon.
Looking down at the three Cherubim chuckles in amusement " my Samael not many followers after the rebellion I guess your fall must of really affected you " mocked Cherubim eyeing Lucifer and the others " don't listen to him he's all talk " said Maze seeing Lucifers anger " you think I'm afraid of you Samael " said Cherubim noticing the red glow in the devil's eyes " I dare you to say that closer " growled Lucifer his anger rising by the second as he met his enemies gaze.
Going to his brothers side Amenadiel steps in " Who are you? " he asks frowning at the celestial floating in front of them " my name is Cherubim General of Seraphims army and protector of the oasis " explained Cherubim in a stern and powerful tone of voice.
" Who gives a damn about who you are...Tell me now where is Chloe? " asks Lucifer squeezing his fists tightly " you had no right in taking her " he said seeing no reaction from Cherubim.
" We told you that you will never see her again " said Libra giving him a displeased look, " do you honestly think we wouldn't have prepared if you ever tried to come here...just face it you will or ever be worthy of her " explains Eve noticing the a slight hurt expression in the Lucifers eyes.
Amenadiel and Maze listened from beside Lucifer, sensing other presences surrounding them they kept their guards up " I don't like this " said Maze holding out one of her blades in case something came out.
Movement caught her attention bringing her lips to Amenadiels ear speaking quietly as possible, " the bastards are not alone" she whispers to Amenadiel who gave a confused expression but once seeing her gaze to the side he understood.
" You think she really belongs to you or that she would even choose you Samael " mocked Cherubim in a taunting tone " you must of learned by now how your father took her away from our lady " he adds seeing Lucifer react to his. Smiling slowly Cherubim notices the anger and hurt consuming the devil " I was hoping she would of been restored without memories of you so that way...she can choose me to be her mate ".
That did it Lucifer expanding his wings out and his red eyes with more fury he charged straight towards then. In a quick motion Cherubim prepared his bow aiming it directly at the angry devil approaching, " you'll never see her again " said Cherubim once the arrow was released it multiplied into more.
Seeing the arrows fast approaching Lucifer looks back at his brother and Maze " LOOK OUT !!!! " he shouts warning them. Quickly dodging and flying threw the countless arrows Lucifer looked back for a moment only to suddenly feel something pierce into his arm.
Moving her head side to side Libra " There's no escaping that " she said watching the scene before them, " he's as good as dead " added Eve sounding amused.
Amenadiel and Maze flew out of the area where the arrows were coming but when looking up to check on Lucifer both there eyes open up " LUCIFER!!!! " shouts Maze seeing an arrow pierced into his arm with a trail of blood going down his arm, " BROTHER!! " Amenadiel shouts flying to get to Lucifer only to get surrounded by more celestials.
Forming an evil smile with glowing red eyes staring at his opponent " IF YOU THINK MEASELY LITTLE ARROWS WILL KEEP ME FROM HER YOUR SADLY MISTAKEN " shouts Lucifer before pulling the arrow out then saw something shine " you...BASTARD " he breathed before charging quickly towards Cherubim then tackling him breaking through the barrier.
Manor
Standing by the balcony doors Chloe's eyes filled with concern, what she felt earlier wasn't something that could be imagined.
Before being secured in her room with Gwen, Chloe sensed a familiar sensation one that she only felt whenever she was with Lucifer. Placing a hand on the surface of the glass and breathing steadily Chloe's gaze continued to watch the sky " Lucifer your here I know you are " she whispers quietly so she wasn't heard.
Gwen noticed how uneasy Chloe was, slowly approaching her she took a chance.
" Chloe what bothers you? " she asks calmly " he's here I know he is...Lucifer came for me " stated Chloe as her eyes begin to get wet " I want to know what's going on out there and why such extreme measures are being taken " she adds trying to figure everything out.
Gwens fear took over that her body shook joining her shaking hands together tightly in prayer " We don't want to lose you again " breathes Gwen nervously, Chloe turns to look at the shaking celestial " what do you mean lose me? " asked Chloe .
Seeing the tears filling Gwen's eyes as she tries to calm herself " it was a tremendous loss to us all when you were gone then after your mother punished herself the loss of both of you because of the devil " explains Gwen with a hint of anger in her voice " the one who took it the hardest was Cherubim he vowed to take vengeance for Seraphim and you " she explains before continuing " for the past centuries himself, Libra, Eve and many others have been preparing... " she said nervously.
Chloe's eyes were showing more concern and fear, " what are they going to do? she asked only to make Gwen turn away from Chloe's gaze " please tell me now " begs Chloe in a worried tone of voice " what are they going to do to him? ".
Steadying her breathing Gwen looks back at Chloe " if you returned and knowing that he would come for you Cherubim will send him back to hell " answers Gwen in a quivering voice " and make sure he's trapped forever so that he can never be with you even if it means killing him " she finishes.
Feeling a lump in her throat Chloe's tears fell then covering her mouth shaking her head " no...no he has no right to do that...Lucifer is... " breathed Chloe " Lucifer is nothing what everyone says or thinks and I won't let anyone keep him away from me " she added feeling her heartbeat.
Chloes looked back to all there time together from when they first met during Delilah's murder to all the cases they solved, her reaction to his playful, immature and mischievous behaviour, to protecting her in times of danger and even there first kiss on the beach but throughout every single one of those times together not only did Lucifer make her better but he was always there, always told the truth and never did anything sinister or evil.
" Chloe... "
Quickly turning her head Chloe heard a voice as if it were said directly into her ear, trying to stay calm she closed her eyes to take a moment.
" Calm down Chloe " she says to herself " there's no way I'm hearing voices now " breathed Chloe upon opening her eyes she was no longer in the room but standing on the stone path only this time the mist was gone and Seraphim was standing in front of her.
" S-Sera- " stopping half way " mother " she continues making Seraphim smile lightly, " it's alright don't force yourself " replies Seraphim stepping closer to Chloe.
Looking concerned at her daughter Seraphim knew what was wrong " you worry for Samael? " she asks getting Chloe's full attention " he's in danger I don't want anything to happen to him " explains Chloe feeling it difficult to breath with tears forming.
" Your bond to one another is unbreakable along with knowing where the other is " explains Seraphim getting Chloe's attention hearing the unexpected response " what you both have was said to be forbidden amongst celestials but no matter what crossed your paths you will always find your way back to one other no force can break it or take it away " she explains lightly holding Chloe's chin while her other hand rests on her shoulder.
" When the two of you are together your strength combined is more powerful then anything " said Seraphim " just as he's protected you...you have protected him " she added encouraging.
Inhaling deeply Chloe calmly asks " and if we lose each other? " finally letting her tears fall, " you will always be brought together again " answers Seraphim before lightly kissing Chloe's forehead...
Opening her eyes while taking deep breathes Chloe was back in the room, she was laid out on the ground slowly sitting up noticing Gwen was no longer in the room she must of left to get help.
Just then a loud crash-explosion like sound was heard, looking to the sky it suddenly changed to dawn like colours.
" Lucifer " Chloe whispers getting up she noticed the door unlocked and unattended quickly running making sure no one was around Chloe made a run for it down the hall. " I'm not going to let them kill him " she breathes before sprinting to where she felt his presence...
OASIS BORDER
All eyes couldn't look away as the barrier broke by the two celestials fighting, with the thought of never seeing her again Lucifer fought with all his strength Chloe was everything to him and he would do anything for her. And he wasn't about to let his opponent take her from him.
From behind Amenadiel and Maze tried to escape from the other angels surrounding them each holding spears and preparing to strike them if needed.
Maze growled in a death like tone but when she noticed two particular celestials with there guards down her smile became sinister, " there are my bitches " teased Maze looking playfully towards them. " How far can you toss " she asked making Amenadiel look at the demon momentarily crazy before immediately knowing what she was referring.
" I warn all of you if you don't want to get hurt I suggest you back down now " announced Amenadiel glancing around while gripping the back of Mazes top tightly but no one budged, " very well " he said suddenly expanding his wings along with a gust of hard wind causing everyone to go back.
" NOW!!! " shouts Maze bracing herself what's about to be a ride of a life time " may you get your targets " replied Amenadiel before tossing Maze hard into the air flying towards the celestials that dare to bruise her.
Once at a far enough distance Amenadiel looked around at the opponents surrounding him only to roll his eyes " who's first? " he asks before gesturing them to come forward.
Both Libra and Eve were shocked seeing the barrier break, " this can't be " breathed Eve as she witnessed the current event " we need to aid Cherubim... " before she could finish both herself and Eve were grabbed by there throats along being forced back at fast speed.
Gripping the arm forcing them into the oasis both sisters expressed shocked expression by the one that surprised them " I told you bitches I'd get you " said Maze " we're gonna have a lot of fun " she added bracing for the impact coming as they were reaching the oasis grounds.
Hitting hard into the grounds Maze released both sisters then quickly took her blades out preparing herself, the demon wanted to take both angels on for sometime.
" Vile demon " hissed Libra standing up expressing pure anger only to make Maze smile widen " your going to wish you never crossed us " breathed Eve holding hers and Libra's spears.
With an intense look in her eyes Maze excitement rises " You bitches are going to be eating your words after I've kicked both your asses and have taken a feather from each of you...no one bruises Mazikeen " she replies followed by charging fast to both angels who charged as well.
From the distance as Chloe ran from the manor she glanced behind her to make sure no one had seen her, once discovered she was gone from the room those that remained around the manor will be searching for her.
Mixed emotions filled her ocean blue eyes when she learned about the plans they had about sending Lucifer back to hell and trapping him scared Chloe more then anything, even after learning of who he really was didn't matter to her what she saw wasn't the devil but her partner and the man she loved.
The sound of crashing interrupted her thoughts looking ahead Chloe ran quickly to the scene but as she got closer she stopped momentarily to see the field wasn't as lively like in the dream.
Just then a figure flew up back into the sky recognizing it was Cheribum her gaze went to the destroyed ground.
Nervously watching Chloes gaze became anxious knowing well who was in the ground, " please...please " she breathes while her heart raced not long after standing without any signs of struggle or injured as though the hard landing didn't affect him, Lucifer rised.
